Lockjaw Lyrics


Look out children, mothers hide all the children who lie
Lockjaw's coming with a rusty nail
He's gonna nail your mouth open wideLook out children, boys and girls who do falsify
From the Black Forest with a hammerhead
He's looking for you with a rusty eyeIn the Black Forest, lives an ogre named Lockjaw
Lockjaw doesn't like children who tell lies
Late at night he stalks the houses of the fibbers and the falsifiers
And before they can cry out from their beds
He nails their jaws open with a rusty nail, using his head for a hammerYou may escape him for a while and think you fooled him
But he'll get you in the end, he'll get ya, he'll get yaLockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Mothers hide your heads, all you lying children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Fathers hide all your lying children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)Look out mothers, telling lies to a gullible child
Lockjaw's coming with a rusty nail
He' gonna nail your mouth open wideLook out fathers, teachers and leaders who do falsify

From the Black Forest with a hammerhead
He's looking for you with a rusty eyeLockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Hide your heads, if you lie to children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
You can't hide if you lie to children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)Many people wonder, could such a terrible tail be true?
Who would make up such a terrible tale?
It seems such a cruel punishment for such a tiny little lie
Well, I've got to confess, it's a fib I made it up myself
It's pretty funny, don't you think?Lockjaw's comingLockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Mothers hide all your lying children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Fathers hide all your lying children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Hide your head if you lie to children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
You can't hide if you lie to children
(Hide your heads, all you lying children)Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming
Lockjaw's coming, Lockjaw's coming

Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as I Saw The Light and Hello It's Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.

Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd's ability in working with musicians.

For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He recently fronted, recorded and toured with the band The New Cars, which featured two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises. He toured with a strong band for this album, which included his long-time bassist Kasim Sulton, and former The Tubes drummer, Prarie Prince.

On September 29th, 2008 Rundgren released his 20th studio album "Arena" via Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK (Hi-Fi Recordings in the USA), to critical acclaim.

2011 found him covering Robert Johnsons songs on stage as well as on a CD called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson"
